Danodild is a non-agricultural and nonindustrial vacuum world, which warrants hazardous environment precautions.

- It requires extensive imports of outside technology to maintain a modern, star-faring society.
- It is unable to produce quality foodstuffs and must import them.
- It has few prospects for economic development.
- It is a Non-Aligned world dominated by human sophonts located in the Pia Subsector of Far Frontiers Sector.
